Jolie's Cambodia Home Evacuated Amid Border Conflict
25 Jul
Summary
- Angelina Jolie's home in Cambodia was evacuated due to border fighting.
- The Maddox Foundation has resumed work protecting land and livelihoods.
- Nearly 30,000 people remain displaced by the conflict.
Angelina Jolie's residence in Samlout, Cambodia, was recently evacuated due to border clashes between Cambodia and Thailand. The fighting, which resumed in December after a ceasefire, serves as a stark reminder of potential conflict.
Her Maddox Foundation, established in 2002 and based at her home, has now resumed its efforts to protect the land and support community health and livelihoods. This work is crucial as nearly 30,000 people remain displaced by the conflict.
Jolie, who adopted her eldest son Maddox from Cambodia, considers the country her "home in my heart." The foundation aims to strengthen sustainable conservation, agriculture, health, and education infrastructure in the Samlout region.
